Wouldn't be the first time for high ranking officials to die that way. It happened at least once in the soviet union.

We need a sky god to start making our annual billionaire sacrifice too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The gods of the deep need some of that, too. Titan was a worthy sacrifice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Why not both?

[–] cley_faye 33 points 9 hours ago

Yes. Make him hasten the process. And have both of them on all flights.

We know you can make it happen God, we've seen you do it with that skit-of-skits billionaire sub thing God. We know you just need them to all willingly line up God. Well they're lining up, God! They're willingly lining up! It's your time to shine God!

John 14:13

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

Would be even better if they got boeing to help too. Would be just the best plane ever, such a great plane. Other people would look at it (as it explodes in a fireball in the sky) and say wow what a beautiful thing

[–] Wispy2891 20 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Beside all the jokes that we want the president and trump to ride that plane together... He's on a mission to save as much money as possible and then he wants two new airplanes for himself???

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 hours ago

So technically they were commissioned during the Obama era, Trump 1 threatened to cancel the program if the budget went over 4 billion, then Boeing appeased him.

Also the reason they were commissioned to save money. Aging aircraft are a bitch to operate. That's why cheap airlines like Ryanair only run new planes.

Also there are already two of them. I suppose one is probably a backup?

Also, fun fact, technically any plane that the US president is currently flying on, is at that moment, Air Force One.

1 for him to golf, and 1 for secret meeting with putin/russians.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 hours ago

sounds like a chance for the world. boing is doing so well in recent years. get all republicans on that plane. put bannon in. put all other friends of epstein on that plane and have it tour the world.

[–] xenomor 76 points 15 hours ago

trump killing himself by using Musk to skirt safety precautions so he can feel special riding around in a shiny new ego tube might be enough to get me wondering if god exists.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago

It's not a death threat if you're supporting their death wish.

[–] Lemminary 46 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Please let them both ride it together, please please please.

[–] medicsofanarchy 1 points 1 hour ago

And take the new FBI director, I hear he likes plane rides.

[–] the_tab_key 30 points 15 hours ago

Ordinarily, the implied result would be sad due to the press corps flies on air Force one as well, but now that they've replaced all reputable news outlets with Fox clones... Let's do this!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

This is starting to feel like someone's playing a joke on me and the whole world is on it.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 15 hours ago

Please have Boeing do this. Focus on the doors.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

Oh wow, what's the worst that could happen, they skip safety and defense features and the plane gets shot down and the president killed? Oh man, that would be horrible, just horrible!

[–] RagingRobot 14 points 17 hours ago

It's good they chose Boeing to build it lol

[–] drunkpostdisaster 7 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

And will blame liberals. Vance would probably call for open violence on any non white christans

Could Musk be useful for something after all?

[–] Olhonestjim 18 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Hurry Elon, hurry. Godspeed.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 13 hours ago

Take every drug you need.

[–] AoxoMoxoA 5 points 13 hours ago

Faster I said !

[–] [email protected] 14 points 17 hours ago

Oh! Wouldn't that be a nice resolution...

Put the President and Trump on an unsafe plane and sent that bitch on a nice long flight over the ocean.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 20 hours ago

Dear Boeing,

I know i said i wanted world peace. Hear me out.
